. . So just belief? That's easy.... No tongue-speaking? No ceremonies? No sheep slaughters? No incense? No music w/or w/o instruments? No water babtism? No transubstantiation? No works? |

Right Sarah.......it's not your works
You have to accept Jesus as your Saviour, that He died for us. Period. Sheep-slaughtering at your own risk. B) |

| 1 You must first recognize that you are a sinner that has fallen short of God's Holy requirements. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..." Romans 3:23 NASB "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" Romans 6:23 NASB Each one of us came short of the requirements and were separated from God and Heaven 2 You have fallen short and can't earn your way into Heaven. You need God's provision for forgiveness and restoration. There is only one provision God has given you. It is only through His son Jesus Christ. "For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16 NASB "Jesus said to him, ' I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.' " John 14:6 NASB "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 NASB It is not from your works that you can get into Heaven. It is the gift of God through faith in Jesus Christ. 3 You must personally invite Jesus Christ into your life so that you may be forgiven and make Heaven your home. You must strive to love God and obey Him with the strength that God will give you. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me." Revelation 3:20 NASB "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,..." John 1:12 NASB |

Well, that's it in a nutshell. You can have all the tongue speaking, ceremonies, sheep slaughtering, incense, music, baptism, transubstantiation or works you like but it don't mean squat (excuse the pun :lol:) if you don't believe in Jesus. Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me - John 14:6. If you don't believe in Jesus all bets are off. There's nothing wrong with the stuff you mentioned, infact we should do some of it. But it's not our ticket into heaven. |

Mark 16:15-16 "Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.

Acts 18:8 "Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:38 "Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection . . ." Roman 6:3-5 "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit." 1 Corinthians 12:13 "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Galations 3:26-27 |

Revelation 3:20-21 "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified." 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 |
